Michael Moore thinks Osama Bin Laden deserved a trial

Michael Moore, Elisabeth Hasselbeck tangle over Osama bin Laden - MSN TV News

I don't have much to say on the subject other than

[RedskinRat]

Michael Moore is why we can't have nice things.

[Ruhskins]

Michael Moore is the left's version of Glen Beck. I like some of the work he's done, but he goes too far sometimes and this is a good example.

The accused deserves a legitimate chance to stand trial for their crimes. Osama probabaly wouldn't have gotten a fair trial in the U.S. but it would have been better than nothing at all. Ultimately all this discussion doesn't matter because Osama wasn't going to let anyone take him alive.

He got what he deserved and justice was done.

fat ass idiot

I am not looking at it from his perspective (everyone should get a trial), but Bin Laden wanted to die as a "martyr". He wanted to die fighting and that's how the Taliban or any other radical group will spin it.

It would have been more difficult to bring him in alive. And, why not lock his ass up in a max security prison. No access, minus Bubba's rear end access in the showers. That's much more of a punishment than a quick death.

There would be a ton of outrage and it would be controversial but I think being locked up for life in that position would be worst off than death for him and I wanted the SOB to suffer.

While I agree holding him would take that away I think it would have sparked too many terroriest attacks and Obama handled this the correct way.

Excellent !!!!!! Too bad Moore wasn't sleeping over with Bin that night in April .

[That Guy]

he got his trial, by fire.

moore's an idiot and about 10 years too late. I'm glad he can help his Q rating though, but he can shove it for all I care.

Michael Moore is right on this one. One thing that separates our country from other places is our fair system of justice. And, under that system, bin Laden deserved a trial.

When Hasselbeck said that bin Laden did not have the right to a fair trial, she was essentially saying that we will abandon our principles of fairness and justice for bin Laden. In other words, no need for bin Laden to destroy the American way of life - Hasselbeck is willing simply to surrender it.

Now of course, bin Laden was killed rather than getting a trial and no one should lose any sleep over that. Sometimes bank robbers are killed in the midst of the crime and don't get their trials, either. But Hasselbeck argued for vengeance rather than justice and in so doing she sold out our country's greatest ideals.

I hope you're trolling becuase thats just (insert words to get warned by a mod)

Bin Laden deserved to die a horrible death with extreme prejudice ASAP from the hands of Americans. He is the greatest villian that ever countered the United States of America. To give him a nano fraction of quarter for more than a second is monumentally absurd.

And Michael Moore is an idiotic bucket of steaming rectum juice.

Well, Hitler might get a mention, but essentially I agree with you on that point.

However, it doesn't change the fact that he deserved a trial under our system of justice. Charles Manson got a trial. Timothy McVeigh got a trial. Nazi war criminals got trials. Bin Laden should have gotten a trial. To deny him a trial would be to surrender the ideals which help to make us great, whether he used that trial to grandstand or not. The Constitution does not guarantee the right to a fair trial unless grandstanding will happen - it guarantees a fair trial, period.

But Saden is right: Like Hitler, bin Laden essentially committed suicide, making the point moot.

Could you imagine being a family member of one of the victims of 9/11 and sitting there (in person or on tv) listening to Bin Laden defend himself and explain why he ordered what he did?
